All 50 states will participate in the seventh annual national event that encourages everyone to celebrate the New Year with a guided outdoor exploration. “We are excited to host First Day Hikes again as part of this effort to get people outdoors and into our parks,” says Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. “These hikes are a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the New Year with friends and family.” Last year, more than 1,200 people began the year in an Iowa state park, hiking more than 1,100 total miles. Staff and volunteers will lead First Day Hikes in Iowa’s 26 participating state parks. Some hikes will include wildlife viewing and hot beverages.

  • EAB) August 9, 2021
    Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) August 9, 2021 1. What is the emerald ash borer? It is a very small, shiny green beetle (½-inch long x ⅛ inch wide; about the size of President. Lincoln's image on a penny). 2. What does EAB eat? Hosts are species (and cultivars) of ash in the genus Fraxinus. Hosts include green ash (e.g., 'Marshall Seedless', 'Patmore', and 'Summit'), white ash (e.g., Autumn Purple®), black ash, blue ash, and pumpkin ash. Manchurian (F. mandshurica) and Chinese (F. chinensis) ash trees are primary hosts in the homeland [Eurasia]. White fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) was discovered as a host in Ohio; this is not a common plant in Iowa. Mountain ashes (Sorbus species) are NOT hosts. 3. Where is EAB from? This beetle is native to Asia and is found in China and Korea. It also has been reported in Japan, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and Taiwan. EAB arrived in the United States sometime before 2002 in wood packing materials. It has been recorded feeding on F. chinensis and F. mandshurica as a native borer. 4. How did it get to Iowa? Most EAB infestations in the United States have been started by unknowingly moving infested firewood, nursery plants, or sawmill logs. The adult beetle also can fly short distances (2 to 5 miles). 5. Should I be concerned about EAB? Yes. It kills ash trees, usually in 2-4 years. In the Midwest, millions of ash trees have been killed by EAB since 2002. There are about 3.1 million urban ash trees and an estimated 52 million ash trees in forests in Iowa.

Regulatory Objectives The Director of the DNR, the Environmental Protection Commission, the Natural Resource Commission, and the State Advisory Board for Preserves: • Strive to provide by rule general statements that implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or serve an important public need; • Strive to describe by rule the organization, procedure, and practice requirements of the DNR; • Strive to use sound science, economic analysis, and policy analysis; • Strive to use an open, inclusive process for rulemaking; and • Strive to provide rules that are plain-spoken, direct, productive, and are necessary to carry out the laws of Iowa and the federally mandated programs. In doing so, these rulemaking authorities will strive to accomplish the DNR’s goals that: • Iowa will have a healthy and safe environment for work and play. • Iowans will connect with nature. • The DNR continually strives to improve organizational performance. A number of regulatory actions are a result of the comprehensive five year review that the DNR is currently undertaking as per Iowa Code section 17A.7(2). The goal of the review is to identify and eliminate rules that are outdated, redundant, or inconsistent with statute or other rules. Regulatory Actions The following table lists the DNR’s anticipated regulatory actions by rulemaking authority. A summary of each action follows. How Can You Participate?

We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.
